In an attempt to hide the oil slick in the Gulf from media/public eyes, Big Oil (BP) is pumping millions of gallons of "toxic stew" into the water. The chemical in question "Corexit" is known to cause homolysis of red blood cells, cancer, and birth defects in humans. The chemical also doesn't actually get rid of the oil - it simply buries it deeper in the Ocean. Nice. Turtles, fish, shellfish/shrimp will continue to die, while the public will notice less of the tarry mess on beaches...
Here's a link to some good research/story on the matter: http://viableopposition.blogspot.com/2010/05/gulf-of-mexico-now-squeaky-clean.html
A curse be on Big Oil, and the right wing government proponents who back them up!

Ps: Don't plan on Spring Break in the South anytime soon... South Padre Island? Nope... The Gulf will be a toxic mess for anyone wanting to go fishing, or for a dip...
You do know that BP contributed thousands of dollars to Obama, don't you? I don't think he's right-wing.
You're right. It is one hell of mess. Good-bye lovely beeches.
